The Devils named themself after KEN RUSSEL'S super B-Movie 'the devils' from 1971, inspired by listening to BLUES AND PUNK and many other Undergrund Bands (The Cramps, HOUND DOG TAYLOR, The Gories, Jon Spencer, FUGAZI, Hasil Adkins, The Oblivians etc) they formed their own band 2015 in Neaples Italy, the Deep South of Italy. Gianni Vessella plays the Guitar and Sings and Erica Toraldo hits the Drums and Screams in Microphone. In the Beginning they did Countless Shows in Italy DIY and France where they meet up withJIM DIAMOND from THE DIRTBOMBS who recorded that first Full Lenght album, the same Day Reverend Beat-Man from Voodoo Rhythm records was in the same town and got their recordings and signed them up on the Label. This is a Record with a Huge Wall of GUITAR FUZZ and Noise and Vocals as Stupid and Minimalistic as it gets, this is NO BOB DYLAN POETRY thats pure EVIL and Lots of Fun !! Chainsaw Massacre HYSTERIC Earbleeding Vocals and the Drumer probably Eats Speed and Power Food for Breakfast, they are Dressed up as Preacher and Nun and Destroy every Stage that they can play on, they Are Hot and Wild and Very Loud !!!!!

EXAMINER (USA)Independent Swiss label Voodoo Rhythm Records recently released the debut LP by Naples, Italy duo The Devils, the aptly titled Sin, You Sinners! With heavily distorted guitar, violent drums, and banshee-esque vocals coupled with dirty singing, the two create a mixture of loud, noisy garage punk and ear-bleeding, blasphemous blues trash. There are ten songs total on Sin, You Sinners!, few of which make it past the two-minute mark. All in all, the album speeds by like an amphetamine high, landing at just under twenty minutes in length. The Devils do have a band gimmick. Guitarist/vocalist Gianni Vessella dresses like a priest, while drummer/screamer Erica Toraldo dresses like a nun. Of course, these look more like fetish outfits or cosplay getups than the real thing - holy costumes on unholy characters - which makes it both stupid and fun at the same time. And judging by the songs and the pictures in the album's foldout booklet, The Devils don't take themselves or their music too seriously, which makes it all the more enjoyable.Song names for The Devils' Sin, You Sinners! include: "Puppy Nun," "Coitus Interuptus (from a Priest)," "Drunk Town," "Azazel," "Hell's Gate," and "Shaking Satan's Balls."

DER WARSCHAUER (DE)THE DEVILS scheppern so schnell und dreckig durch ihr Erstlingswerk wie ein Bischof, der sich wegen Veruntreuung von Kirchengeldern aus dem Staub machen muss. Was für ein brachialer Spirit, eine rotzfreche Attitüde! Allein Songnamen wie „Coitus Interruptus (From A Priest)“ oder „Shaking Satans Balls“ passen bestens ins blasphemisch-höhnische Konzept der Band.Dass Voodoo Rhythm Records ein Faible und ein Gespür für Kuriosa hat, bewies das Label schon oft. Wer bei den DEVILS allerdings den typischen Lo-Fi-Bluesrock erwartet, kriegt sofort eine mit dem Paddel vor die Lauscher. Dieser Rock´n´Roll-Bastard vermählt sich mit wuchtigen Anleihen, die so auch gern mal im Grindcore vorkommen. Der Bass dröhnt mit viel Verzerrung, die Kessel hämmern geradlinig drauf los. Einzig die Vocals werden zur Nebensache, da meist so viel Hall auf den Stimmen liegt, dass man nichts versteht und die Melodien fast noisig ausfallen. Dennoch trägt das zur Summe der Songs einen wichtigen Teil bei. Quentin Tarantino würde diese Platte wahrscheinlich lieben und in einem seiner zwei verbleibenden Filme verwursten. Für eine lange Montage würde es aber nicht reichen, da die meisten Tracks schon nach einer oder zwei Minuten verbrannt sind. Daher ist „Sin, You Sinners!“ eine kurzweilige, wenn auch sehr unterhaltsame Scheibe, mit der man jeden Roadtrip zu Festivals oder Camping eröffnen kann.SLUG MAGAZINE (USA)If you like The Cramps or The Gories, then The Devils would be good company to add to your record collection. Imagine a sound that totally devastates in its raw deliverance of absolute damnation. If your mind’s eye allows you to contemplate this scene, then your attention should be on The Devils. Hailing from Napoli, Italy, this group takes its name from the 1971 movie of the same name, directed by Ken Russel and starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave. The film was said to be so controversial that it was subject to remain in cult-like obscurity for years after release. In some countries, the film even faced total banishment. There is no doubt that this is a hard reputation to live up to. After subjecting myself to the fury that is Sin, You Sinners!, I am confident to say that The Devils do just that. Sin, You Sinners!, came out June 24, and would be the perfect album to instill anarchy all the way from the downtown hipster bars to the quiet and complacent suburban boroughs. This is an album that is meant to fully enjoy as you pop it into the boombox and proceed to crash the local hipster or neo–new waver’s party. In doing so, you might even make some friends, or more likely, loads of trendy enemies.Before you plug in, try to wrap your head around the fact that listening to this is akin to subjecting yourself to all that is chaos and hellfire. Sin, You Sinners! is among the best of brutal, ear-savaging rock n’ roll. This is the stuff your mum warned you about because it is raised straight from the crypts of doom and despair, aka the vaults of Voodoo Rhythm Records. Sin, You Sinners! is a brilliant display of The Devils’ furious ability to drive raw and primitive sounds into the black depths of an otherwise innocent-seeming soul. Provided this feeling invokes the proper raw emotions, all sense of freedom should be surrendered in exchange for sensational acts of voracious pleasure.Top tracks for your immediate consideration and devouring are the wild “Puppy Nun,” the overwhelming “Drunk Town” and the demonic noise of “Hell’s Gate.” In all, what you can expect from Sin, You Sinners! is some solid trash, blood-spurting, straight-from-the-garage rock n’ roll. When playing, be sure not to cut back on the sound. As with anything thrashy like this, it needs to be played at an earsplitting level, which will hopefully inspire the need to commit utter bedlam on the local community. You know, like what rock n’ roll is supposed to implore. To be sure, Sin, You Sinners! is not for the weak of mind nor the faint of heart. Rather, Sin, You Sinners! is for the rock n’ roller who lives for the thrills of a lifestyle of authentic depravity.With all of this in mind, go on and pick up Sin, You Sinners. From there, be sure to dig deep into the crates of Reverend Beat-Man’s Voodoo Rhythm Records. I guarantee in those crates you’ll find all that is devilishly good, much like Sin, You Sinners. –Nick Kuzmack

MUSO'S GUIDE (UK)Recorded by Jim Diamond of The Dirtbombs (he certainly gets around), and snapped up by Voodoo Rhythm Records, this is a short and to the point LP, at just under 20 mins long. Italian duo The Devils, named after Ken Russell’s 1971 B-Movie, are trashy, thrash-y, and totally classy. If you take blues, garage, good old fashioned speed-fuelled rock ‘n’ roll and stick it in an industrial blender, this pretty much what you would get. That, or if you can imagine a more hardcore and really twisted version of The Courettes, you’d kinda be on the right track. Opener 'Puppy Nun' is a mess of chainsaw like noise and blood-curdling screams. 'Coitus Interruptus (From a Priest)' (see video) tells the story of a Priest and Nun on their travels, stopping for water and drinking the Devil's juice (although not sure whether that’s quite as bad as Jesus juice - you be the judge) What happens next? See for yourself! ‘Hell’s Gate’ comes on like an AK-47. ‘Don’t Look In The Basement’, catchy ‘Misery’ (la, la, la, la, la, la), the relentless ‘Azazel’ and ‘Shaking Satan’s Balls’ are without a doubt of the Diamond school of garage punk rock; raunchy, live and drenched in fabulous fuzz. If you're looking for and a driving primitive beat, ear splitting in-the-red distortion, minimal lyrics, and, as the press release says this ain't no 'Bob Dylan poetry', then you've definitely come to the right, erm... church? Sometimes their sound does border on the Industrial, and they've borrowed from so many different genres that there’s definitely something here for the more open-minded rock and roller. But then, I wouldn’t expect anything less from a band signed by Beat-Man Zeller. Play LOUD.
